- Keep the Borgia relationships clear. Cesare controls military power while Rodrigo holds the papacy.
- Use the allied network. Leonardo, Machiavelli and Claudia support different parts of Ezio’s work.
- Distinguish recruits from named allies. The recruit roster is a gameplay system that grows during the campaign.
